I have <br />difficulty seeing the comparison to an office use when there is not regular daily use of the <br />building and the club does not even have phone service there {the bridge club has a line and <br />plugs in a phone when they are there.) <br /> <br />I would expect uses would be categorized in accordance with ITE trip rates since the City relies on <br />those for SDCs. It is difficult to see how General Office came to be ranked with Commercial in <br />the assessment table, other than the fact they are both commercial-type uses (which the club is <br />not.) That certainly is not consistent with the ITE trip rates. It cannot be reasonably claimed <br />that the Garden Club use will generate a level of alley traffic comparable to a Commercial use, <br />particularly since there are only six parking spaces on the site. <br /> <br />I would ask that you reconsider the categorization of the Garden Club. I also request you enter <br />this and my past correspondence in the record by inclusion in the Council packet. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of my comments. <br /> <br />JWS <br /> <br /> 5/4/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
